AND RHEUMATISM.
l have little boy twelve years old
whose knees have been drawn almost
double and his joints are perfectly stiff,
and ne has been in this condition three
years, unable to walk. During that time
the medical board of London county ex-
amined him and pronounced the disease
scrofuIa and prescribed, but no benefit
ever derived. I then used much ad-
yertised preparation without benefit.
Three weeks ago he became perfectly
helpless and suffered dreadfully.

what Brain work Will Do.

A striking instance of the extent to
which saving machinery is carried
nowadays, says the Industrial Journal,
is shown in the tin-can industry
Everybody knows that tin cans are
manufactured by machinery. One OF
the machines used in the process SOL
ders the longitudinal seams of the
cans at the rate of fifty minute, the
cans running along in continuous
stream. Now, of course, a drop or
two Of solder is left on the can. The
drop on the outside can be easily
cleared away, but it is not so easy to
secure the drop left ON the inside. II
wouldn't do to retard the speed of the
work-better waste the drop; it is
only trifie, anyhow, and to 500 men
in 1000 would not seem to be worth a
minutes attention.
The thousandth man worked for a
firm using one of these machines, and
he set about devising an ingenious ar
rangement for wiping the inside of
the can, thereby saving that drop of
solder and leaving none to come in
contact with the contents of the can.
He was encouraged by his employers
to patent his invention, did so, and
has already received several thousand
dollars in royalties for its use. AS the
machine soldiers 10000 cans day the
solder saved by his invention amount
ed to about $15 a day. 1t pays to
think as you work.

Dried Nectarines.

Fresno fruit-packers are this year
drying thousands of pounds of nee
tarines. This fruit has not yet ap-
peared in the market in sufficient
quantities to attract attention, although
enough was offered for sale last year
to create fair demann for this sea-
sons pack among those who were
fortunate enough to secure a portion
of last years crop. The nectarine
has not been extensively planted in
California yet, and certainly merits
much more attention than it has re-
ceived from our orchardists. As a
dried fruit, when prepared for table
use, the nectarine is superior to either
peach or apricot, and its excellent
qualities only need to be more
generally known to be recognized as
such. Special pains should and
doubtless will be exercised by our
fruit-packers to place this seasons
crop upon the market in the most at
tractive shape, and thus encourage a
more general demand for the crop of
succeeding seasons. We believe this
to be the coming fruit, and we do not
hesitate to encourage others to engage
in it's production. 1t cannot be grown
with any success in any of the East
ern States, and as the demand in
creases for it California orchards will
have to be greatly enlarged to meet it.

KNOCKED OUT.
"A Lively Match Between jim
Hall and Tim Pagan.

Hall and Tim Pagan.
For several days past it has been
noised around town that mill would
be fought between two heavyweights.
aud on last Thursday night at about
-l2 O'Clock select few chartered a
string Of hacks and wended their way
outside of town, not more than two
miles from the City Hall. In quiet
sheltered nook ring was pitched, and
the principals appeared within the
ropes. One proved to be colored
slugger named Jim Hall, who tipped
the beam at 173 pounds. His oppo.
nent was adorned with a lighter COM
plexion, and was named Tim Pagan,
weighing 180 pounds. The men
were pretty evenly matched and
the favored ones crowded around the
ropes as time was called. A we'll
known citizen was chosen as referee,
and one OF the boys was selected as
time-keeper. After shaking hands
the men gotto work at a lively rate.
The darkey led off with an up clip
from his right which caught Pagan
behind the left ear. 1t lifted him
clean off the ground and then he fell
headlong on the grass. Before the
call of time he regained his feet and
came to time smiling. The round
closed with some half-arm blows in
close quarters. In the second round
the tables turned and Pagan brought
the gentleman of color into his own
corner, where he foored him with a
blow from his left which caught him
just above the belt, followed by a
blow from his right, which landed in
the small ribs, knocking out the darky.
When time was called he was unable
to come to the scratch and the fight
and purse, amounting to 800, were
awarded to Pagan.

TAXATION.
orders From the state ROard OF
EQunlfzatiOn.

orders From the state ROard Of
Equalization.
County Clerk Dunsmoor yesterday
received the following from the State
Board of Equalization
SACRAMENTO, September II, 1887.
TO the Board Of Supervisors Of the
County of Los angeles.
The rate of State tax fixed this day
by the State Board of Equalization as
the advalorem rate of taxation levied
and to be collected upon each 800 of
the assessed valuation Of the property
of the State to raise the specific
amount of money required to be
raised for the Thirty-ninth fiscal
wear is go cents and mills, and the
said rate was fixed and apportioned
as follows:
For the General Fund ..,...,. 3s.5 cents.
For the School Fund ,,., 49,, lS.9 :.
Total rate of State Tax. ..... 59.9
And the Board also this day, in
pursuance of law, declared the levy of
an ad valorem tax OF cent upon each
800 of value of the taxable property
OF the State, for the support of the
University OF California, making
total of CO.'S cents.
You are therefore, as provided by
Section 3714, of the Political Code, re-
uuired on the first Monday of October
next, to levy the said rate of State
taxation upon the taxable property in
the county.
[Signedl G. E. WncoxoN,
Chairman of State Board of Equaliza-
ton.
[Attestl E. w. MAsLN,
CLERK of the State Board of Equaliza-
ton.
The rate last year was Sc cents. or
A cents and mills less than this year,
and on a smaller valuation. 1t is
thought, however, that the rate will
be increased next year more than this,
for the support Of the State institutions
is becoming more expensive. The
County Auditor is preparing an esti-
mate OF the amount required for the
coming year, and it is probable that
it will be ready for the public next
Monday. So far as he is able to judge
at present, the amount required will
be between 100000 and $500, 900,
allowing $lOO, 900 for roads and $780,
900 for the schools. The matter of
fixing the rate per head for school
children will come up for consideration
before the Supervisors on October Sd.
The County Superintendent has writ
ten letter asking that the rate be-
fixed at not less than $4.O0 per school
child, and the City Board have asked
that it be fixed at $500 per child. 1t
is stated that the School Trustees
throughout the county are very de-
sirous of having the rate fixed at $500
per child, and at this rate the aggre-
gate will be less than $100, 900, for
there are not quite 10000 children in
the county.

Barnnm laid: you do not, any If
